“Developed and developing countries is different because the process of urbanization in developed countries is due to agricultural modernization and rural surplus labor force there, while the developing countries, rapid population growth, urban economy caused deformities, and economic development are incompatible.” , may I ask, “city urban economies deformities What do you mean?” Whether to use an example to illustrate. Thanks!

A: Look at the following introduction.

Developing countries currently face the problem of urbanization is far greater than in developed countries have been much more serious problems encountered. In 2004, two U.S. scholars in the study of urban conditions around the world, from cities in developing countries found “a number of dark zone”, that is, the West Bank and Gaza, Sudan and the African Great Lakes region, semi-permanent camps, home to tens of millions of displaced refugees, the formation of various kinds of slums. Where there is no chance of life, without any hope, self-evolve into a “country” and become fertile ground for unrest. While in Latin America, some countries, half of a city luxury of the rich area, the other half is dilapidated, congested slums, known as the “Latin American disease.” The emergence of such problems, one important reason is that their highly urbanized with a passive, forced sex, rather than endogenous, in harmony with economic development, in particular, the lack of effective, fair and open society system. The reason why many people pouring into cities is not entirely driven by urban economic development, but rather a war or other reasons caused by the decline in rural areas. From this point of view, statistics show the rapid urbanization in many developing countries is not a gospel, but indicate a greater dilemma.
